New research from ORB International in conjunction with their partners at WIN/Gallup International has found that despite the UK voting to start the process to leave the EU in June 2016, the impact in the rest of Europe appears to be minimal in the majority of countries.

The percentage of people in Germany, France and Belgium who would vote to leave has fallen from 12 months ago; those in Denmark and Sweden are also significantly less likely to vote to leave compared with a year ago. However, on the reverse there has been significant increases in support to leave in Finland (up from 29% to 40%) and in Greece (up from 38% to 46%). The large increase in support for leaving seen in Italy last year has been maintained in 2016 with 40% (down from 42%) preferring to leave.
